Hotel itself was excellent. Great staff, clean rooms and convenient location. Biggest complaint is the the wifi was absolutely horrible. Most of the time it did not work at all. Otherwise a great stay.

Initially i was concerned about this hotel since the reception area was not impressive but after going up the stairway to my room it started to grow on me. Really liked the area. Convient.

The property owner, José, was amazingly kind. The room was big and clean, and the hotel is in close proximity to the old town, abd to a Metro station. We would always go back.

Good location and value in Porto!
We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Dear Porto Guest House. Room and bathroom were small, in typical European style. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Price was extremely reasonable for the location. Very clean. Run by a family who were very friendly and helpful. The optional breakfast was good and a good value. We would recommend to travelers who are looking for a good value close to the shopping and sights in Porto!

Great stay for the price!
This place is hard to beat for the price. The staff was all extremely kind and helpful. All major sites were within easy walking distance. Be warned that the bed wasn’t very comfortable, but each room had an AC unit and the people were great, which made up for it for us!

Great location, pleasant stay
I had a good-sized, nicely decorated room with a small balcony and lots of natural light. It appears to have been recently updated/remodeled, and was sparkling clean. The hosts were helpful and friendly, and the ample breakfast was good it was and convenient to have it right at the hostel. The location is great, central and close to many restaurants and stores, including a mall, and an easy walk to most places. Their is little traffic, since most of the street is pedestrian-only, so a quiet place to stay.

This was a very nice place, although I did not plan the trip to the train station very well. But it was in a nice part of Porto. Everyone was helpful, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was ok.

The hotel is close to Bolhao Market and a shopping area. You can get the train from the airport to the the hotel it is a gentle up hill walk and one straight road. My room was on the second floor and clean. Due to the fact that I got an injury before flying out I found the steps a little steep on a normal basis without my injury this would not have been a problem. The staff were friendly. I walked pretty much every where from the hotel. The train station is near by and there are also buses. I walked to Livraria Lello in approximately 15 - 20 minutes.

It's An OK Place
It's still walking distance to the center, has no elevator, and the reception is not manned at all times. It's clean and quiet though. I slept comfortably anyways, and that's important.

Excellent place to stay!
This is one of the friendliest, cleanest places we have ever stayed. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to help. I am amazed that everyone speaks such good English!. Our room and bedding were very clean as was the bathroom. We even found some American programs to watch on TV! The location on Rue de Catarina is good for shopping. The Continental breakfast was filling - the orange juice was fresh squeezed and had so much taste! Thanks to all for helping to make our stay so memorable.

Great Little Place
From arranging the property to departing, the staff could not have been more helpful. The Dear Porto Guest House is in a good, quiet location just along from the main shopping street where the Majestic Café is located. There were eight of us staying in five rooms and all were happy and content. The rooms are clean and a good size with en-suite bathrooms. Ours had a small balcony with good views down towards the river. Breakfast is good value and served with lovely fresh orange juice and coffee (or tea). If you want the Ritz, this isn't for you. If you want a nice, cosy, friendly haven, this is ideal. I would recommend it to my friends.
